I'm all for green bases!
If I may make a suggestion, maybe the bottom one could be less diluted? Looks more gray than green?

Noooo, I love the tinted green! A lovely way to properly (olive doesnt count imo) dip into the green bases without wigging people out!

@africa - i thought so as well, but i didn't want to make it too green, as it might turn a lot of people off
@river - exactly my thoughts :)

I like the second one BECAUSE it is so grey and just subtle green. (I like the first one too btw)

I love these green versions better than other green bases I've seen in the suggestions because they allow for more color range, but still keep to the realism that Lioden has. I'm really for these two and I really like how muted the second one is!

@Tallulah & @Leaf - Thank you so much <3 I'm all for realism, so I tried to make them as realistic as possible while not being too boring either. The bottom one was literally inspired by the herb sage, hence the name. If you look at pictures of those "spirit sage" burning thingys (i have no idea what they're actually called), they're actually pretty gray with a hint of green so... I did my best ^-^

Supporting for the sage base tbh (the first one is p good too, but I'm more neutral on that rather that support/no support). I really don't like green bases (i'msorry-), but sage is beautiful! The gray and subtle green work so well together <3 I'd love to have a sage-based lion with olive eyes with a plant aesthetic tbh?? So I gotta support lmao

i really like the first base but my only concern is that darker markings might not show up too well on it (but i also just love the dark green!).

@FirecrackerTNT - ahhh thank you! Yes i'm a huge plant lover, so I could see the sage base being good for plant decorations and green foresty/jungle-like backgrounds <3
@Dhampir15 - That's very true, but I believe the "emerald" (or "toxic") base is actually darker than onyx (currently the darkest color on lioden) so any onyx markings would actually be lighter than the black on "emerald". Plus, there's already the bases onyx, obsidian, and jet which don't allow darker markings to show up well either. The green on the emerald base would actually allow darker markings to show up on that area of the base better than the already existing solid black bases. Does that make sense? I know I kind of lectured that haha

i totally forgot that there are the darker bases, which is really silly because i tend to like them, so with that cleared up i love it! (and we have bright blues purples and pinks based on gems and flowers so i cant see why anyone should have an issue with an emerald color)

@karnilk and Dhampir15
To add on, some other bases are darker than Onyx, and have Onyx markings seem lighter.
The bases I found that do this are (by using Onyx Wisp):
Unholy (top part), Ebony (kinda hard to tell tho), Bloodbourne, and Black Rose (or at least it seems darker to me).
